loud clunk noise when braking or hit a bump..
my recent zx14 purchase 07 SE, everything great except i hear and feel a loud clunk noise when i use the front brake or hit heavy bump, it is mostly when the front end dive down. the noise coming from upper part of swing arm in center. brakes works great, no vibration, handles well but just annoying noise which you can feel in handle bar. bike has lowered some but not much.
any thoughts?

check the frame for cracks. then check the bushings in swingarm, also see if the sleeve is in the swingarm.

I have same clunking noise on my 08, same cause as well, heavy braking or a heavy hit to suspension. Had bike at shop since it has done this since new but can't seem to find a cause. Any more input?

the sleeve is in there but not sure about bushing, might have to get professional look at it since i have no clue how to take it apart.. you can really feel that clunk on handlebar, it looks like something metal hitting the bottom end and can't go anymore or it is out of place and hitting something!.. the best i can explain!!
